Dice-O-Matic

what is the monopoly dice size? (normal dice size)
is it this? 16mm (5/8")

It´s not completely random? I think it is, because some dice are hanging above, and you can´t simulate that. (You can maybe but it´s hard). Very cool machine and 1000 times nicer than a random generator software.

That's fucking awesome. Guess I can't bitch about the dice rolls anymore when I lose to my friends at Gambit. ;)

good job!

For my purposes, I will accept their randomness. Maybe I could get them to be more random if I rolled them with my own hand, but only if I had maybe a triple-length craps table to roll them on.

P.S. Homologygroup, quantum effects can of course be neglected in this case, but consider the increase in entropy due to each die's loss of potential energy during its descent through Earth's gravity well.

If the machine is not true random, that means that you could predict it's results. Apart from saying "Betweem 1 and 6", are you sure that you could predict it's results ?

And don't tell me about quantum physics, i never understood quantum mechanics and think i'll never do !

if you gave me the position and angle of all those dice and a really powerful computer and a sufficient amount of time I could predict how each die would land

True, those didn't look like particularly well made dice either. When they put precision machined casino dice in there, then we're talking.

Anybody who knows anything about *physics* knows that, assuming quantum effects aren't in play here, these rolls aren't completely random either. The only thing that's truly random would be passing a photon through two polaroids at 45 degree angles with respect to each other or something.

Yes, it occurred to me, but if you're 18, then you should be at least somewhat capable of gathering simple info without swearing into the void. The info box right next to the video not only tells you what this does, but links you to a full article about it. Pardon me for being baffled by the scores of YouTube users who seem incapable of discovering even the simplest information for themselves. Another that boggles me is how many people ask what song accompanies a video when the info explains it.
